1. Register in advance:
Burlington residential phone numbers will be randomly selected to be
part of the telephone town hall. Residents who would like to be added to
the telephone call list can email getinvolved@burlington.ca by the end of the day on Nov. 17.
Please
note: if you registered for any of the previous town halls, you are not

just before 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 18 to join the town hall. For
those individuals calling in, please be advised more than one attempt

the first call does not connect, please hang up and dial the 1-800
number again.
